The Best Chinese Restaurant in the entire Area. A real eat in restaurant which are very rare is always spotless and modern fresh decor. Even the bathrooms are like a 5 star hotel. As for the food the sushi is always fresh and the rolls are beautifully prepared by real sushi sheds. The fried rice is the best around , the lunches are great and menu is both Chinese and Japanese with many Japanese dishes like tempura etc there is also an upstairs habachi area that is busy and reservations on weekends is helpful. The service is very attentive and the food comes out quick. I travel 20 min to go there and would rather drive the extra distance then settle for any other restaurant. Highly recommended

it was absolutely delicious. I ordered the steak and shrimp combo, and both were cooked to perfection. The steak was tender and juicy, and the shrimp had a wonderful flavor that was enhanced by the garlic butter. The fried rice was some of the best I've had, with just the right amount of seasoning. Even the veggies, often an afterthought at other places, were fresh and flavorful. The portions were generous, and I left feeling completely satisfied. The service was also top-notch--our server was attentive and made sure our drinks were always full, and the chef was happy to accommodate a few special requests.

Go upstairs to see the show! The hibachi chefs are talented and entertaining. They flip bits of zucchini and shoot saki into your mouth from 4 feet away. They make a flaming onion ring volcano on the grill. They flip spatulas, forks, and knives around (and hardly ever drop one). It's a fun environment! We ordered some sushi and sashimi rolls too. This place is our go-to for family birthday dinners. They were super accommodating when we brought ice cream cake for our celebration.

We went early to eat here and were happy with the quality of the fish it was fresh and tasted great. The reception or hostess lacked serious customer service and basically snarled as we walked in. The waitress we had was very attentive and got our food to us quickly. All of the sushi we tried was great very fresh and good flavor. We sat right near the sushi bar that had over four men preparing fresh sushi and it was fun to see. The decor is a bit run down and the lighting is a bit dim for the restaurant. They offer hibachi upstairs which we didn't try and hot food is offered as well. We will Be back. Ext time or may just try it all via take out. Seems to be a converted house that u Is now used as a restaurant. Parking is limited but available all around property They do take credit cards

In the past I have ordered out from this restaurant and this time was the first time indoor dining which was a very positive experience. I enjoyed my platter which was tuna which consisted of sashimi, rolls and tuna on a bed of rice. The Tuna was fresh definitely a party in my mouth so delicious. It was complemented with a dry bottle of sake which was just lovely bringing out the taste of the tuna. The dish came with basic salad that was just fine The service was quite nice a very nice environment to dine with family.
